Creamed Spinach Macaroni and Cheese

This fun side dish is part creamed spinach and part macaroni and cheese. It is a fun way to get them to eat their greens!

I have been thinking about making this for quite some time. I loved the idea of mixing creamed spinach and creamy macaroni and cheese. So, when Matt said he wanted to grill some steaks I decided this was the perfect opportunity to give it a try. I mean if steak houses are famous for serving creamed spinach with their prime rib, wouldn't this be a great down home spin on that idea? Yes! Yes, it is!

Somehow I failed to get a picture of Matt's steak. He got himself a 23 oz T bone. Because who doesn't need 23 oz of beef for dinner? He asked if I wanted one too, but I knew I had to live through the evening so I asked him to get me something a little more reasonable.

Little Dude loved the macaroni and cheese. Cheese and pasta are two things I can usually count on him eating, so it is a convenient cover to get him to try some green vegetables as well.
